Supreme Court Declines Plea Challenging Entry Restrictions in UP and Rajasthan Schools
The Supreme Court of India declined to hear a plea challenging restrictions imposed by Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan governments on outsiders, including journalists and activists, entering government schools. The orders also limit photography, videography, interviews, and livestreaming within school premises. The plea argued these curbs violate constitutional rights to freedom of speech and information, especially amid the Cockroach Janta Party's 'School Thik Karo' campaign highlighting poor school infrastructure. The court, however, chose not to intervene, citing procedural grounds.
